A little BHS with the CanvasPop Team

We’ve worked on quite a few projects with the team at CanvasPop over the last two years and have had the chance to see how cool it is to work with this company. While we were producing other projects for them, we thought it would be fun to put this Behind the Scenes look together.

We didn’t get a chance to incorporate my footage spinning tracks on their the DJ Booth (might I add which is suspended in mid air). You do catch a split second glimpse of it at about 45 seconds into the piece while I’m whip panning from one side of the room to the other from the stair case. Maybe that footage will pop up somewhere else in the near future ;)

Philadelphia Flyer’s Claude Giroux

What does it take to be one of the NHL’s top point leaders? If you ask Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers, he’ll probably tell you, hours of intense workout sessions, a disciplined diet, focus on setting new goals and a little R&R before the end of the day.

We spent time filming Claude to piece together a story about his off ice summer routine. As Claude’s day started off we followed him to his workout session, “Train Like a Freak” designed by fitness Expert Tony Greco. It was important for us to jump in the mix during this workout session which gave us the opportunity to get up close and really give you the feeling of how intense each exercise is. Shooting with Canon DSLR’s really gave us an advantage to get as close to the action as possible. In between exercises Claude actually told me he was afraid I was going to get hit by his skipping rope because I was so close to him.. if you look close enough, you can catch his rope just skimming my lens at 1:24….Glad I didn’t get hit!

On this project we teamed up with Miv and Melissa from Miv Photography who played a key part in the storyboard process while also shooting both stills and cinema mediums for us.

This was one of our Short Films that we produced earlier in 2011. Generally we don’t film baptisms… but c’mon, look at that smile and arms in the air.. how could we refuse! So we hung out with Tristan and his family for a while prior to his baptism to add a build up to the story. We filmed on two separate days to blend in the story of the bibles as center pieces, including the rosaries and candles which were all given out to each guest at the baptism. The interesting thing about tristan’s baptism was that the speeches that took place at the reception just seemed to compliment our story line perfectly.
